Following the success of acts such as Lana Del Rey and Haim, signing to Universal’s UK label Polydor is becoming a popular choice for American acts. The latest to take this path is LANY, an electro boy trio whose decision to sign to Polydor… Continue reading Future Stars: LANY (Polydor)

Future Stars: SG Lewis (PMR)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I rarely feature electro producer-artists in Future Pop as every electro producer thinks he’s an artist these days, and it’s hard to distinguish between those who are big on the scene and those who’ll achieve mainstream crossover success. But all signs suggest that SG… Continue reading Future Stars: SG Lewis (PMR)
Future Hits: Karcrashian Panache
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. My weekly playlist features five tracks I predict will be future hit singles.

Future Stars: Kacy Hill (Def Jam/G.O.O.D. Music)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Like Jamie Lawson, Kacy Hill is also signed to a label led by a big name artist, though it seems barely of note when that artist is from the hip-hop genre, where you haven’t really made it ’til you have your own roster full… Continue reading Future Stars: Kacy Hill (Def Jam/G.O.O.D. Music)
Future Stars: Jamie Lawson (Atlantic/Gingerbread Man Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. A week ago Jamie Lawson was known only by Ed Sheeran superfans and a few people in the music industry. Now he’s on course to achieve his first no.1 hit, after 12 years in obscurity, with a single originally released in 2011. After Ed’s… Continue reading Future Stars: Jamie Lawson (Atlantic/Gingerbread Man Records)

Future Stars: Kehlani (Atlantic)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Much like R. City, Californian singer Kehlani proves that UK-specific promo is no longer necessary to create a strong fanbase here. Without releasing an official single or album, the 20-year-old R&B artist has sold out two shows at London venue Heaven. The internet has… Continue reading Future Stars: Kehlani (Atlantic)
Future Stars: R. City (Kemosabe/RCA)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. R. City are currently enjoying their first hit with Locked Away, featuring Adam Levine. You might assume brothers Theron and Timothy Thomas are a brand new act, but in fact you’ve undoubtedly heard the Virgin Islands duo’s work before. R. City is an abbreviation of… Continue reading Future Stars: R. City (Kemosabe/RCA)
Future Hits: Movin’ On Up
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This week’s playlist features five singles that were released On-Air On-Sale, which I think will grow into future hits. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw0LjVTuPux84ps8q1RaONMDvvpITqD2h] Tracklisting: Little Mix – Love Me Like You Drake – Hotline Bling Kygo ft. Ella Henderson – Here For You Duke Dumont – Ocean… Continue reading Future Hits: Movin’ On Up
Future Stars: Transviolet (Epic Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. The music scene is inundated with promising new girl singers at the moment, but there are surprisingly few female-fronted bands. That gives Transviolet a bit of an advantage, as the LA-based group's sound has been compared to to Halsey, Lorde and Lana Del Rey,… Continue reading Future Stars: Transviolet (Epic Records)
